Can you tell me the quickest, simplest, and
most accurate way to check for converter slippage?
Car specs:
1967 Camaro, 3300 lbs, 4.56 gears, 9-inch, 1.76
Glide, 29.5-inch tires.
Quarter-mile is run at 10.79, 7200 rpm
1,000-ft is run at 9.0, 6700 rpm
Thanks.

Steve,
Get a Data Recorder System! You may be gasping for breath
now and saying I won't spend that kind of money, but in
reality there are many different levels. Small systems to
full blown systems. The performance gain you can find certainly
makes it well worth the cost. In short you can monitor crank
speed and drive shaft speed all the way down the track to
see what the converter is doing all the time, not just at
the finish line.
